Thanks, that could explain it. But if that's really the cause, it's a serious bummer. The premise of these starter decks sounds really good, but if they aren't produced anymore and some of them get so pricy, they don't help that well...
Price of "Draconic Destruction" Precon
I'm currently looking at the Starter Commander precons as they were considered budget options for new players and I want to introduce some friends to EDH that are relatively new to the game.
However, when comparing them, the Draconic Destruction precon (Gruul) costs immensely more than the others. I'm located in Europe and there the cheapest option I can find is 70€. The other precons from this set go for around 40€ maximum.
I'm looking at pricings on the Moxfield deck list, but that adds all cards to around 50€. Is there a reason why this deck is so expensive especially considering its set-mates?
Have you read the story? It gives input to understand how this card could fit into Duskmourn.
Probably there are ability triggers like "when a door unlocks". The reminder could be there to make clear that these effects also trigger when a room is cast and that it does not enter already unlocked.
They MUST capitalize as much as possible on any weekend where Max/RB are not strong, such as this one.
In a perfect world, Lando and Oscar would have worked together to defend from Ferrari and secure their 1-2 with Lando at the front. That would have been 17 points to relieve them a bit of this pressure of performing perfectly on all remaining weekends.
Of course we don't know if Charles/Ferrari would have won either way with their strategy. But Oscar gifting Charles a Lap 1 overtake on Lando and both McLarens straining their tyres racing against each other probably didn't hurt Ferrari.
Before today I seriously thought that Lando/McLaren had a chance at WDC, especially with Baku and Singapur still coming up. But as you said, they have shown again and again this season that they can't execute the race weekends necessary for this to happen.
McLaren trying to win championships challenge (Impossible)
I think at this point it's clear they don't want to go for the WDC for whatever reason. And with Ferrari not that far behind and them blundering like this again and again, I would not be surprised if they don't win the WCC as well.
And to be a bit sarcastic: I'm sure Lando is happy to have let Oscar pass in Hungary after they told him how important the team is for his chances.
Then I think RefCell is exactly what you want to defer the mutable borrow to runtime instead of compile time: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2021&gist=3170c01849dc577a501ecb11dd44c5ba (source for this method on StackOverflow).
Maybe there could be syntactic sugar to use captures implicitely as RefCells inside a closure. But I would not be a fan of implicitely allowing multiple mutable borrows without any clue for that in the code.
I'm not sure how you intend to use this. When no variables are captured, the borrow checker will not have any issues with the closure method.
When you are still capturing, you could implement a macro like one answer suggests. However, IMO this highly depends on the complexity of the duplicated code and even then I don't immediately see what the benefits compared to extracting it as a closure/function are.
This is entering subjective taste, but in my opinion this also is a feature of Rust. Especially when the closures are more complicated, it may be not as obvious if and where they are changing state (the fact that Rust implicitely mutably borrows the variables to the closures doesn't help either).
So a solution of this issue for me would be to add the changed variables as parameters to the closures and explicitely mutably borrow them at the calls in the loop: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2021&gist=78cc7947e2e0b07b54baf6e1a75a2632
I would agree with you that this increases code verbosity. However, this would be a price I'm willing to pay to help understand at quicker glances what happens inside this loop.
This seems like the most likely case. I could have sworn that I saw mentions to Arena elsewhere a few days ago, but now I can't find anything else than this wiki page.
And as far as I understand all previous starter kits did have such codes (this is my first one, so I can't speak from experience 😅), so a copy-paste error makes sense.
Assassin's Creed in MTG Arena?
Hi everyone,
yesterday was the release of the new Universes Beyond set and my preorder of the Starter Kit arrived today.
According to the wiki, the kit should contain codes to unlock the decks in MTG Arena. However, I couldn't find any codes and there is no mention of Assassin's Creed in Arena itself.
Is the wiki mistaken here? Will the new set be available digitally or is this a pure print set?
It is most likely a reference to Abigail from the game Stardew Valley. You can gift her items and, initially due to a programming quirk which was then kept as an ascended meme, she treats all her favorites as food and exclaims to eat them. This includes gemstones like amethysts.
Ich glaube, hier wäre im Zitat der Satz davor noch wichtig gewesen:
In Zukunft sollen aber Spenden eingeworben werden;
Die non-profit ruht dem Artikel und eigenen Angaben nach nicht aus dieser Umstellung her. Es wurden sogar seit 2021 keine Spendenquittungen mehr ausgestellt. Eher will sich generell für die US-Geldbeutel attraktiver machen.
Einen Zusammenhang zwischen den beiden sehe ich aus den aktuellen Informationen zumindest nicht.
